You will see this symbol throughout this manual.

This purpose of this symbol is to call your attention

to hazards and/or unsafe practices that have the

potential to cause injury or property damage. The

severity of each hazard is further explained in detail

below. Failure to follow all instructions may result in

electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury. The term

“power tool” in all warnings refers to your battery

operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.



Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of distraction while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

• Use personal protection equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.



Tool Use and Care

• To prevent leakage, overheating, smoke generation, ﬁre, and rupturing from occurring, follow these

instructions when handling our rechargeable power tools (tool main body/battery pack/charger).

• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these

instructions to operate the tool. These tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may aect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.

SAFETY INFORMATION

7REC-MK7430 - OPERATOR MANUAL

MODEL: RECMK7430

• Use power tools only with speciﬁcally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and ﬁre.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally

occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from

the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Battery and Charger Use and Care

• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery pack,

and product using battery pack.

• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Huskie Tools battery pack model BP-185. Other types of batteries may

burst causing personal injury and damage.

• Do not leave charger and battery pack exposed to rain or snow, submerge in water, or stored in damp or wet

locations.

• To reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting

charger.

• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or

stress.

• Do not disassemble charger or battery pack, contact Huskie Tools service dept. at 800-860-6170 when service

or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or ﬁre.

• Do not store the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F)

(such as a metal tool shed, or a car in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery.

• Do not charge battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F). This is very

important to maintain optimal condition of the battery pack.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V AC electrical power only. Do not attempt to use it on any

other voltage.

• Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated place, do not cover the charger and battery pack with a cloth, etc.,

while charging.

• Use of an attachment not recommended may result in a risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Do not short the battery pack or allow metal objects to touch the terminals. A battery short can cause a large

current ﬂow, overheating and create the risk of ﬁre or personal injury.

• Huskie Tools is not responsible for any damage or accident caused by the use of recycled or counterfeit

battery pack.

• Do not incinerate the battery pack or dispose of the battery pack in a ﬁre or expose it to excessive heat.

• Do not charge the battery pack in a high-temperature location, such as next to a ﬁre or in direct sunlight.

Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch ﬁre, or explode.

• After removing the battery pack from the tool or the charger, always re-attach the pack cover. Otherwise, the

battery contacts could be shorted, leading to a risk of ﬁre.

• When the battery pack has deteriorated, replace it with a new one. Continued use of a damaged battery pack

may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture.

• When storing, remove any material cuttings and dust from the battery pack, and place the battery pack

separately from metal objects (screws, nails, etc.) when storing in the tool case.
